How Does the International Shipping Process Work?
Hi, I'm looking to understand how the international shipping process works from start to finish. Could you explain what steps are involved when shipping goods overseas? For example: * What happens after I hand over the goods? * Who handles things like customs, loading, and documentation? * How long does shipping usually…

Yodel is rebranding to Yodel by InPost
I suspect sellers on Vinted all have received this message, not sure if they have also sent them out on Ebay as I don't use Yodel at all on there. "Hi, Earlier
this year, we announced that Yodel became a part of InPost UK. From 15th
September 2025, you may notice some changes as we update our brand to Yodel by InPost.…

Vinted, a few months ago i was advise i had to become a pro seller, now i have to provide business
Morning,I started selling on Vinted last year to clear out items I had accumulated. For context, I went through a period of binge buying and collecting things like backpacks, slings, and EDC/travel gear (I use to travel alot for work at the time). I’d often buy multiples of the same item over period of months, and…

Large letters RM delays
I know we have had threads regarding RM delaying letters and potentially LLs as well, but I've now had 3 'where's my item' messages in less than 24 hours. I personally think the buyers are being a bit prompt ,1 was sent Tuesday and 2 on Wednesday, but according to ebay all should have arrived by now. Luckily 2 of them were…

Seller change mind after deposit was paid
Hi, Might not be the right category but I found this as the closest one. I'm the seller of 1kg silver on Facebook. Someone is willing to buy it and he said he will collect it in 10days and for that he paid £120 in advance. But in the meantime I've changed my mind and I let know the buyer that I wanna sell it somewhere else…

Ebay International Buyer - VAT and IOSS number
I've sold something to a buyer in Austria. He has paid VAT to Ebay on the item and I have been provided with an IOSS number from Ebay. Ebay tells me: 'Please ensure that you share Ebay's IOSS number electronically with your courier'. However, when I go to purchase a postage label with Royal Mail, the box to enter the IOSS…

Question re collection in person and returns
Hi, I only sell occasionally on eBay, and usually only small bits that I can post. I have listed 3 large kitchen appliances as collection only, as certainly cannot post them. I understand that there is now a code that eBay sends the buyer, which they must show me on arrival. And that this gets around the old scam of paying…

Ebay - Buyer unable to pay due to 'Unable to deliver to address'
Hoping for some advice. I'm a private seller, one of my items has sold. The buyer contacted me shortly after to say they couldn't pay as the item 'couldn't be posted to their address'.

parcelforce lost / delay - Ebay buyer wants a refund
Advice needed on a stressful eBay sale I sold an item on eBay about 10 days ago. I shipped it the same day by dropping it off at the Parcelforce depot, where it was scanned into their system. However, a week later the buyer contacted me saying it hadn’t been delivered, and the tracking still only shows the initial scan.…

EBay 'messages' - format has gone awry using Firefox. Ok in Chrome.
Hi.This happened around a week or so ago, and could have been around the same time as a Windows 11 update, but not certain. In essence, when I click on my 'Messages', it appears spread over the whole page, as tho' zoomed in to a daft and distorting degree. My Firefox is set to the standard 100% zoom, and all the other eBay…

I never learn- waiting on a facebook collection -again
Having vowed never to try and give anything away again on facebook - i relented and offered up a small item of furniture that's far too good to throw away, it's also on freegle and similar places. Listing showed lots of photos , full measurements (inches and cms) , a part post code - plus the usual no delivery available.…

Interesting re using a Sniper.
Hi. I've just placed a bid for a car using a sniping tool - Gixen. The vehicle didn't reach reserve, but I was the highest bidder; my actual snipe figure was above the end price. I asked what the 'reserve' was to see if I could meet it, and the seller told me - along with what the 'highest bid' he'd received was - and it…

EBay fraud question
Bought something which was veering towards the too good to be true price but wasn’t quite there. Seller with very positive reviews but had been dormant for over 12 months. I get a very bland message from eBay telling me my order has been cancelled due to problems with the sellers account but there’s a possibility my order…

Holiday Settings On Ebay App?
Can anyone tell me where to find these please? I've had a good look around, but can't find them. Googling brings up instructions that seem to only relate to viewing the site in a browser, on a PC for instance. I'm using an Android phone if that makes any difference.
